Dr. Saltman has had a chance to compare American and European scientific education while doing research in Copenhagen during the past year while on sabbatical leave from USC.
Communication Problem Scientists, however, have not done a good job of communicating with the public, the USC associate professor notes.
He will discuss this point of view with Dr. Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College, who is host for the "Meet the Professor” series.
